Gene List Selection Matters: Missed Diagnoses in Prenatal Exome Sequencing—PanelApp R21 and HPO‐Driven Versus OMIM‐Based Gene Lists

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether the causative variants found upon clinical exome sequencing in fetuses affected with selected structural anomalies would also be detected if PanelApp‐R21 or Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)‐driven gene selection terms were applied instead.

Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models

open access: yesPediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

Inherited arrhythmias: The cardiac channelopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2015
Ion channels in the myocardial cellular membrane are responsible for allowing the cardiac action potential. Genetic abnormalities in these channels can predispose to life-threatening arrhythmias.

International Guideline on the Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Patients With Hereditary Angioedema

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable episodes of tissue swelling (angioedema), which, in most cases, occur first under the age of 18 years, and entail a significant burden of disease not only for the patients but also for their families.

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from patients with extreme high and low polygenic scores for QT interval

open access: yesStem Cell Research
Long QT syndrome (LQTS), an inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndrome with congenital and drug-induced presentations and known monogenic and polygenic contributions, represents a significant clinical challenge due to its complex genetic underpinning and ...

Assessing a Model for a Complex Systemic Disorder—The Value of Male Mice With a Supernumerary X Chromosome for Klinefelter Syndrome Research

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

Beyond the Electrocardiogram: Mutations in Cardiac Ion Channel Genes Underlie Nonarrhythmic Phenotypes

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2017
Cardiac ion channelopathies are an important cause of sudden death in the young and include long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and short QT syndrome.

Sudden death in a young patient with atrial fibrillation

open access: yesCardiogenetics, 2017
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young patients without structural heart disease is frequently due to inherited channelopathies such as long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome or Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.

Incidence and Early‐Life Risk Factors for Food Allergy in a Spanish Birth Cohort

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The prevalence of food allergy has increased in recent decades. We aimed to determine the cumulative incidence of food allergy in early childhood and to identify associated risk factors. Methods We conducted a prospective birth cohort study including 1006 newborns recruited over one year at a single hospital in Spain and followed until 4 ...
